ORNAMENTATION OF CARDS, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 338,955, dated March30, 1886.

Application filed January 21, 1886. Serial No. 189,350. (No specimens.)

T aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, PHILIPP HAKE, of Hoboken, county of Hudson, andState of New Jersey, and FRANZ OEOHSLI, of the city of New York, in thecounty of New York and State of New York, both citizens of the UnitedStates, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin theOrnamentation of Cards, &c., of which the following is a specification,

[0 reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

Our invention relates to the ornamentation of visiting cards,invitations, dance programmes, and analogous articles, its object beingto produce an article that will be novel and unique and present a highlyornamental and attractive appearance, as will be more fully hereinafterdescribed, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, Figure 1is a view of a card with its edges treated according to this inven tion;Fig. 2, an enlarged sectional view of one of the edges of the same, andFig. 3 a view of 2 5 the same cut on a bevel.

Our invention consists in first irregularly notching the edges of thearticle and then applying to such edges a coating of metallic coloringmaterial or similar substance. By thus making the edges ragged, and byusing a ,0 variety of colors, an extremely novel and attractive articleis produced. To still more beautify and increase the effect, theirregular notches may be cut on a bevel.

In the drawings, A indicates the card, and a the metallic coloringmaterial.

\Ve contemplate manufacturing these cards, 8m, in many difierentshapes-such as oval and diamond shape-and therefore do not desire to belimited in this respect.

Being aware that it is not new to simply notch and color the edges ofsuch articles as herein mentioned, we do not claim such as our inventionin this application; but

What we do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, a card, in vitation, or analogousarticle having a ragged or irregular edge, the same being coated with acoloring-matter, substantially as herein set 53 forth.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.

PHILIPP HAKE.

' FRANZ OEOHSLI.
